Book excerpt: Welcome to Hello Harold (that's me, Harold Evensky). I've been a practicing financial planner for over three decades; financial planning is my avocation as well as my vocation. I've had the privilege of participating in the growth of my profession, serving on the national Board of the International Association for Financial Planning, as Chair of the Certified Financial Planning Board, the International Certified Financial Planning Board of Standards, as well as on advisory boards for Charles Schwab and TIAA-CREF. In those three decades plus, I've seen a great many changes, not only in the markets but also in how investors--and their advisors--respond to them. Some of those responses make very little sense. Financial planning is a powerful tool that can help you develop and maintain the quality of life you want. Unfortunately, there's a ton of noise and nonsense foisted on investors that can undermine their financial success. Maybe you're one of the many unlucky folks who've tried using a broker or financial advisor and wound up with one of the few less than ethical ones who had you invest in easy-answer funds that did more for the advisor's bottom line than yours. Maybe you decided to go it alone. Unfortunately, investing is not a simple task and without a grasp of the fundamentals many investors wind up making costly mistakes. Although there are innumerable books--many of them very good--designed to help you invest wisely, many are too long, too technical, too boring, too commercial, or too simplistic to hold the reader's attention. So it's my turn. I decided my book would be just right--not too long, not too short, not too technical, not too simplistic, not commercial and, most important, fun to read. Hello Harold gives you the foundation you need to navigate the markets and plan your financial future. I take you along with me on phone calls and meetings, conferences and classrooms, and let you eavesdrop on my thoughts, conversations, and brainstorming sessions with clients, colleagues, and students. I introduce you to actionable concepts that will make you a far better investor, with a sound plan for your future. You may even have some fun along the way. Unlike most books you're familiar with, don't feel obligated to move from page one through to the end. Each chapter stands on its own, so you can skip and jump to your heart's content, chasing subjects you find of interest in any order that appeals to you. No matter where you land, whether it's cash flow or market timing or taxes or any of a myriad of essential topics, you're likely to find something you hadn't considered before in quite that way. Each chapter is designed to give you insights that will improve your financial bottom line and your chances of achieving your financial goals.

Download or read book Scenarios for Singles written by Annette Richardson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's Christian singles are as complex and multi-faceted as the numerous challenges they consistently encounter. In Scenarios for Singles, Ms. Richardson presents a collection of scenarios and sketches that portray Christian singles confronting an extensive range of moral dilemmas. Along with each dilemma comes the opportunity to make bad situations better by both knowing and obeying the Word of God. The guidelines for effectively seeking definitive answers are shown through Bible study, critical thinking and group interaction. Richardson, a born-again Christian, relies on her personal experiences and the experiences of others to share relatable situations accompanied by four-fold lesson plans that include a case study, role play, group interaction, and Bible study guidance. Christian singles are encouraged to rely on scripture as they contemplate a variety of questions: Should an unmarried person go out to dinner with a married person? Is fasting more about giving up pleasure or about repentance over sins? Does a woman have a right to wear what she wishes to church? When seeking a mate should all trivial flaws become deal breakers? Can forgiveness bridge a gap in relationships? Single people frequently find themselves inundated with difficult choices and often choose the world's perspective simply because they are not familiar with the biblical viewpoint. Scenarios for Singles provides the opportunity for God's people to dialogue about important issues from a solid foundation and a master plan.

Download or read book I ve Seen It All at the Library written by Jonathan M. Farlow and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think of libraries as solemn places filled with dusty books and dustier people. This "memoir and more" of a career librarian explodes that misconception. Recounting his years behind the reference desk with an emphasis on the strange behavior of patrons, the author shows that public libraries are anything but staid and quiet. The history of libraries--as long as the history of the written word itself--is also discussed. That libraries have grown as colorful as the society they serve is proof that these essential institutions are as vital as ever.
